About this home

Rare opportunity to own the largest homesite in this small enclave off Rocky River Road - 5.246 acres, roughly double the size of any neighboring lot. This is the last available lot on the line still assigned to the sought-after Hickory Ridge Elementary, Middle, and High Schools (buyer to verify). The four surrounding lots have already sold and are building or about to begin, several with high-end custom homes, making this an exceptional setting to build your own. The property offers a tremendous building canvas: mostly cleared and gently set back from the road, nestled among mature oaks and natural privacy. A wooded buffer runs along the rear of the lot between the homesite and the creek, so there are no rear neighbors and the back of the parcel stays in its natural state. The generous acreage gives plenty of room for the home, outbuildings, a future pool, and space to spread out that the smaller lots simply cannot offer. Much of the heavy lifting is already done. The property has an engineered septic permit in hand approved for a 5-bedroom home (upgraded via engineered flow reduction; engineer's letter available), so a buyer can move toward construction without waiting on soil work. Well water is required; a future tie-in to City Water along Rocky River Road may be possible at the buyer's cost and coordination with neighboring owners. Recorded covenants protect the value of the neighborhood and keep the homes consistent, including minimum home sizes, brick or stone exteriors, architectural shingles, and tree-preservation standards - all the quality controls of a custom community with NO HOA dues. A portion of the rear acreage lies within the 100-year and 500-year floodplain, but the intended building area sits outside the flood line on high, usable ground (buyer to confirm with survey and plat). Properties of this size, in this school district, surrounded by new custom construction, rarely come available. Bring your builder and your plans. Buyer and buyer's agent to verify all information including acreage, septic capacity, school assignment, flood, utilities, and any restrictions during due diligence.
